Thanks, codefox. If it doesn't cost me more than a couple hundred bucks, I think I might like to try. Should I buy a book? (I see that the site-owner has one...) Or does the site have all the schematics and step-by-step instructions and part sources I would need? Remember, I really have no idea what I'm doing or even looking at.

Not sure why those photos above are so small, but here is a link to the Photobucket site where I uploaded them:

The parts and wiring to the dial/shadowmeter (slide 11) looks intimidating.

See slide 13? That's a photo of tube 37 and 42. There's a rusty metal barrier behind them. Just behind that is a space. And behind the space is the transformer. Is that space where the 42 and 80 are supposed to be? (I've seen a picture of a Model 91B that didn't have that thin metal barrier. That's confusing me...)

I'd also like someone to take a close look at slide 6, the close-up of the shredded opening in the grille and the speaker cone. Is that the speaker material that is shredded too?

Also, I've seen pictures of sets here with the chassis out of the cabinet. That would seem practical for working on it, but how do you remove the chassis from the cabinet?
